The Norwegian and Dutch specialists will transport, install, and connect the soft yoke (SSY) mooring systems for the Hilli Episeyo and MKII FLNG vessels in Argentina's Golfo San Matías in Río Negro province. Combined capacity of 5.95 MTPA is scheduled to reach the Atlantic market in 2027 and 2028.
The EU purchased $73.7 billion in U.S. energy in 2025, down from 2024 and less than a third of the $250 billion annual commitment made at Turnberry.

A $1.5 billion commitment to a single Vaca Muerta block and a new self-supply gas model have turned Argentina's largest power generator into an integrated oil producer — a transformation now documented in the company's annual SEC filing.
The five-year, four-unit deal covers Halliburton's high-intensity electric fracturing fleet and the OCTIV Auto Frac digital platform — the first international deployment of Zeus beyond North American basins
The Techint Group's E&P subsidiary increased the cap on its local bond program as it pursues a $2.4 billion plan to scale Los Toldos II Este from 20,000 to 70,000 bbl/d within 18 months. Part of the new ceiling is already committed to outstanding instruments.
After 21 hours of negotiations in Pakistan collapsed without agreement on Iran's nuclear program or the Strait, Trump posted on Truth Social that the Navy would immediately blockade all vessels entering or exiting the waterway.

The 12-year instrument, placed in international markets at a coupon below the 8% threshold, anchors annual capital expenditure of $1.5–$1.6 billion through 2028, positioning Vista as the second Argentine upstream company to tap international debt markets this year
February output held at 874,000 bbl/d — a 15.8% year-on-year gain — confirming the new floor rather than a seasonal spike. Neuquén drove nearly seven in ten barrels, but a 126,000 bbl/d gap to the 1 million bbl/d target and unresolved transport constraints mean geology is no longer the binding variable
From floating LNG to crude export pipelines and NGL fractionation, a concurrent buildout across Vaca Muerta's full value chain represents the largest private investment cycle in Argentina's energy sector this century
The Techint Group chairman argued that artificial intelligence applied to fracture design and reservoir management could add more than 3 billion barrels to Vaca Muerta's recoverable resource base — a figure Shale24 estimates at roughly $230 billion in potential subsurface value
The Latin American E&P company has launched a drilling campaign at its Loma Jarillosa Este block in Neuquén with $80–100 million budgeted for 2026, targeting a ramp from 1,500 bbl/d to 5,000–6,000 bbl/d by December — and 20,000 bbl/d by end-2028
In January, he halted drilling in North Dakota for the first time in 30 years. Weeks later, he traveled to New York to deepen his position in Argentina’s Neuquén Basin. “The rock doesn’t know which country it’s in,” said the businessman and adviser to Donald Trump.
